RUNOUT RADIO: June 18, 2016

Sunday morning is coming down over here in Hip Donelson and after waking up the neighbors by making a smoothie, I have now sat down to recap all of the fun we had in our two hour time block on WXNA last night.

While the X-Factor was out of town, we gave our loyal listeners a double dose of Runout Numbers. We decided the theme would be Ladies' Night: All Women, All the Time. Planning the show by laying out records, listening to pairings of songs, and grouping them up into sets was a blast this weekend. Does Alanis go with Siouxsie or Loretta with Cher? These were the choices we had to make.

Special shoutout to Mark, who called in giving us our first real request via the phone line. We both got so excited that we messed up cueing, came in too early-- it was a blur. Pretty sure Linda Ronstadt took one for the team there in the madness. We lost our whole cadence, but in a good way. In a way that's like, oh my god, people are really listening out there! We didn't have Mark's request this week, but we are getting it for next week, because we are people of our word.

We're still working on getting shows recorded and archived. In the meantime, enjoy this Spotify playlist for those of you who were doing something cooler than listening to us on a Saturday night:

All the good stuff, minus the awesome Sweet Honey In The Rock song, which is not on Spotify, and not on YouTube, either. But if you come over, I'll play the record for you, because you should hear it. And the Jenny Lewis song doesn't have Elvis Costello. And the Joan Baez song isn't the live cut. Really, you're just better served by blocking off Saturday nights for authenticity's sake.

Thanks for listening, thanks for reading, and don't hesitate to drop us a request on our Facebook page! We really appreciate you all.
